People v. Harris

The defendant, Spencer Harris, was arrested and indicted for the robbery of an Elgin loan company office. After a bench trial, he was found guilty as charged, the court having denied the defendant’s motion to suppress evidence obtained pursuant to his arrest. At his sentencing hearing, defendant was sentenced to an extended term of 14 years imprisonment. Defendant appeals the denial of his motion to suppress, contending that the evidence was obtained as the result of an unlawful arrest. Defendant also appeals the trial court’s imposition of the extended-term statute.
